Pavan Kalyan yesterday described himself as an activist in the proposed political party who would do anything he was asked to do. In an informal interaction with the media at his office, he said that at present he was only part of a team that was putting the logistics in place for Mr. Chiranjeevi’s maiden public meeting to be held in Tirupati on August 26.When questions about his role persisted, he said he would not like to contest in the general elections. “I am not keen on an electoral fight at all. I am here only to obey instructions of my brother,” he declared. Mr. Kalyan said, “I am taking care of my brother’s security, apart from coordinating with the cultural troupes.” About 20 private guards would handle the security in addition to the presence of the district police.
In what was his first interaction ever since news of the new party started doing the rounds, Mr. Pavan Kalyan appeared evasive fielding queries about the party’s agenda, policies and other such details. However, he did speak of a rage in the minds of the people over successive governments neglecting welfare and callousness when it came to fulfilling the basic needs.
